My Birthday

Could never get enough of these two!

Another birthday has come and gone and they just keep getting better & better!  My favorite part about birthdays is seeing and hearing from so many friends and family!

My family came up last weekend to celebrate.  They are the best!  My mom always makes my favorite dessert and Carla and her family brought me a card with the kids' handwriting (love that!) and beautiful flowers!  We had such a fun afternoon - it was gorgeous outside so the kids played outside while the guys watched the Bears-Vikings game.  The kids had a blast!  They made up new games and just ran around.  My sister and I are going to do a sister day and we had planned to do it last week but with my work schedule and then we were out of town for Ryan's uncle's funeral we are going to schedule it for December which will be perfect!

Then Ryan and kids made my actual birthday so special!  We went out for pizza at Gina Maria's (my favorite) then had homemade chocolate cake with white frosting (again my favorite)!!  Madelyn made me a birthday card which brought tears to my eyes as it was so sweet and something she wrote all by herself.  I was showered with gifts, hugs and kisses.....plus I get to schedule a massage which is another one of my absolutely favorite things to do!  Here's to 38!!  (PS - I keep losing track of my age - I honestly thought last year I was 38.....but I guess that's good that I get to do 38 again :)

Growing up so fast and best friends!!
